本届展览以“蜕变”为核心主题，将其视为对转化、变化与适应的探索。展览聚焦于由实验、新材料开发以及当代技术推动的转变，同时回应当下设计领域所面临的挑战：如何解读当代语境，并构想未来图景。在这一过程中，人始终处于核心——其需求与愿望构成出发点；但视野也不可避免地延伸至人与地球、资源以及环境之间的关系，试图在个体、空间与自然之间建立一种良性的互动联系。

The central theme of this year’s edition is Metamorphosis, understood as an exploration of transformation, change and adaptation. The exhibition focuses on transformation driven by experimentation, the development of new materials and the technologies available to us today, highlighting the challenge currently facing the world of design: interpreting contemporary scenarios and envisioning future ones. At the centre remains the human being, with their needs and desires, but the focus inevitably extends to our relationship with the planet, its resources and the ways in which we interact with the environment around us, building a virtuous connection between the individual, space and nature.

观众通过黎巴嫩出生、现居巴黎的建筑师Lina Ghotmeh所创作的场地特定装置“运动中的蜕变”（Metamorphosis in Motion）进入展览主题，该装置同时也是整个展览在视觉与观念上的核心。延续其自称为“未来考古学”（Archeology of the Future）的设计理念，Lina Ghotmeh在荣誉庭院中构建了一个交织记忆、景观与空间的装置。其灵感源自宫殿的历史，以及庭院作为迎宾与公共展示空间的角色——一个承载仪式、相遇与表演的场所，同时也是连接城市与宫殿的过渡界面。

Visitors are welcomed and introduced to the exhibition’s theme by a site-specific installation by the Lebanese-born, Paris-based architect Lina Ghotmeh, entitled Metamorphosis in Motion, which serves as the visual and conceptual centrepiece for the entire exhibition. Applying her signature design philosophy, which she defines as the “Archeology of the Future,” Lina Ghotmeh transforms the space of the Cortile d’Onore with an installation that weaves together memory, landscape, and space. Inspired by the history of the Palace and by the courtyard’s role as a place of reception and public representation—a scenographic threshold where ceremonies, encounters, and performances unfolded, as well as a space of transition between the city and the palace.

“运动中的蜕变”试图编排空间中的行动路径，引导感知，并将建筑转化为一种可被体验的“景观剧场”。在这里，“蜕变”被理解为一种强烈的空间过程——形式与体验在其中共同演化。装置通过与周围对称秩序形成对比而凸显，其展亭以曲线几何、不断变化的视角以及连续的路径展开，将原本可能静态的场景重新转译为一个富于体验性的空间。

Metamorphosis in Motion embraces the ambition to choreograph movement, frame perception, and transform architecture into a lived spectacle. Interpreting metamorphosis as an intense spatial process, where form and experience evolve together, the installation stands out for its contrast with the symmetry of its surroundings. The pavilion unfolds through curved geometries, shifting perspectives, and a sequential path. What might otherwise remain a static scenography is reimagined as an experiential space.

“运动中的蜕变”被构想为一个边长17米的方形迷宫，由18个模块组成，在呼应利塔宫庭院几何与轴线的同时，也作为一种感知装置，在保护与激活之间建立联系。该装置将庭院转化为一个可容纳多重聚集的场所，使建筑在行走、光线与时间的作用下被不断重新诠释。由模块化结构界定的空间被设计为承载多样化的体验方式，鼓励感官感知与对周边语境的回应，并邀请观者参与新的交流与互动形式。整个装置展开为一系列功能与感知空间的序列，使环境成为一个可被主动参与的场域。

Conceived as a square labyrinth measuring 17 meters per side and composed of 18 modules, Metamorphosis in Motion traces the geometry and lines of the courtyard at Palazzo Litta while operating as a sensory device that mediates between conservation and activation. The installation transforms the courtyard into a space for multiple gatherings, where architecture is continuously reinterpreted through movement, light, and time. The spaces defined by the modular structure are designed to accommodate diverse ways of experiencing the pavilion, encouraging sensory perception and dialogue with the surrounding context, and inviting visitors to engage in new forms of togetherness and interaction. The installation unfolds into a sequence of functional and sensory zones, turning the environment into a site of active participation.

结构采用MDF板材制作，并覆以Milesi Vernici不同深浅与肌理的粉色涂层，组织出一条包含多种节点的路径：其中设有由Avalon Italia提供的座椅区，以及专门的交流空间，旨在促进对话与社交互动。感官体验进一步通过冥想空间与沉浸式声音区域得到拓展，同时结合由Scent Company打造的嗅觉体验——以柏树、乳香与雪松为主调，唤起建筑师Lina Ghotmeh故乡黎巴嫩的记忆，将情感转化为一种具有仪式感的空间体验。装置还包括Frab’s Magazines书店，以及“A Moment of Taste”体验区，呈现Tre Marie与Vitavigor的产品。

The structure—crafted from MDF and finished with Milesi Vernici coatings in varying shades of pink and textured surfaces—articulates a pathway that includes seating areas by Avalon Italia and a dedicated talk space, both conceived to foster exchange and social interaction. The sensory journey is further enriched by a meditative space and an immersive sound area, alongside an olfactory experience curated by Scent Company. Featuring notes of cypress, olibanum, and cedar, this composition evokes Lebanon—Lina Ghotmeh’s homeland—transforming memory into a ritualized spatial experience. Completing the installation are Frab’s Magazines bookshop and the A Moment of Taste area, featuring products by Tre Marie and Vitavigor.

Lina Ghotmeh此次在意大利完成其首个场地特定的户外作品。她提出的“未来考古学”设计方法，将记忆、景观与空间相互交织，这一理念深受其故乡贝鲁特复杂文化与历史层积的影响。她曾就读于贝鲁特美国大学，并在巴黎建筑专科学校（École Spéciale d’Architecture）完成学业并任教。Ghotmeh逐步建立起一种敏感而富有创新性的建筑观，将精确性、诗性与对场地的深度尊重融为一体。

Lina Ghotmeh – here at her first site-specific outdoor work in Italy – has developed a design approach she defines as the ‘Archeology of the Future’, a method that intertwines memory, landscape, and space, deeply influenced by the cultural and historical layers of her home city, Beirut. After studying at the American University of Beirut and completing her education at the the École Spéciale d’Architecture in Paris— where she also worked as a professor—Ghotmeh has established a sensitive and innovative architectural vision, capable of blending precision, poetry, and a profound respect for the site.

她的跨学科方法同样体现在其巴黎事务所Lina Ghotmeh — Architecture的实践之中。该事务所以整合性的方式展开设计，将历史研究、敏感的场地观察与持续的实验相结合。这种方法也直接体现在具体项目中——通过与语境的对话，揭示场地的层积结构。在其代表性作品中，包括为威尼斯双年展、罗马MAXXI博物馆、伦敦维多利亚与阿尔伯特博物馆以及丹麦建筑中心所设计的空间。近期，Lina Ghotmeh被任命为大英博物馆西翼改造项目的建筑师，并入选《时代》杂志2025年TIME100 Next榜单，同时凭借2025年大阪世博会巴林馆获得“最佳建筑与景观金奖”。

Her interdisciplinary methodology is also evident in the projects of her Paris-based firm, Lina Ghotmeh — Architecture, which takes an integrated approach that integrates historical research, sensitive observation and constant experimentation. This methodology is also reflected in the projects themselves, which engage in dialogue with their context revealing its stratifications. Among her most significant works are the workshops for Venice Biennale, MAXXI in Rome, the Victoria & Albert Museum in London, and the Danish Architecture Center. Recently, Lina Ghotmeh was appointed architect for the British Museum’s western range renovation, she was named to the TIME100 Next 2025 list and received the Gold Award for Best Architecture and Landscape for the Bahrain Pavilion at Expo 2025 Osaka.

延续往届传统，利塔宫庭院再次作为Mosca Partners Variations的视觉前奏，同时也是观众与“蜕变”主题的初次相遇。Ghotmeh以其独特的设计视角，将这一主题转化为一段建筑性的行旅——在其中，运动与记忆共同作用，于同一空间中揭示出多重层叠的身份。受到利塔宫巴洛克风格的启发，这一装置不仅是一条可被穿行的路径，更成为通往贵族层（Piano Nobile）中各个展厅的入口，这些同样具有巴洛克特征的空间中汇聚了参展者的多元表达。

In keeping with previous editions, the courtyard of Palazzo Litta once again serves as the visual prelude to Mosca Partners Variations, and as the first encounter with the theme of Metamorphosis, which Ghotmeh interprets through her design lens, as an architectural journey—where movement and memory work together to reveal layered identities within one space. Drawing inspiration from the Baroque style of Palazzo Litta, her installation is not merely something to walk through but becomes a gateway to the myriad visions presented by the exhibitors in the rooms—also Baroque in style—of the Palazzo’s Piano Nobile.

Mosca Partners创始人Caterina Mosca表示：“在2026年与Mosca Partners Variations一同回到利塔宫，意味着重新激活历史与当代设计应对现实挑战之间的对话。‘蜕变’并非单纯的美学探索，而是设计的本质——一种动态适应的过程：它要求深层次的转变，将关注点从单一对象转向再生，以及人与自然环境之间新的平衡。在这些历史空间中，来自11个国家的25位国际参展者的视野汇聚为一个集体生态系统，在这里，技术创新与材料感知正在重新定义居住的边界。这一动态叙事由Lina Ghotmeh的装置引入——她是当今国际建筑界极具影响力的建筑师之一，其富有诗性的表达以细腻而有力的方式与宫殿空间及我们的展览构想相连接。‘运动中的蜕变’作为一个观念性的阈限，将空间感知转化为一种参与式体验，并由此勾勒出更具自觉性的未来坐标。”

“Returning to Palazzo Litta with Mosca Partners Variations 2026 means reigniting a dialogue between history and the search for design solutions to the challenges of the contemporary world,” says Caterina Mosca, founder of Mosca Partners. “The theme Metamorphosis is not a mere aesthetic exploration, but the very essence of design understood as dynamic adaptation: a need for profound change that looks beyond the object to focus on regeneration and a new balance between human beings and the natural environment. In these historic spaces, the visions of twenty-five international exhibitors from eleven countries converge in a collective ecosystem, where technological innovation and sensitivity to materials are redefining the boundaries of living. A dynamic narrative introduced by the installation by Lina Ghotmeh, one of the most compelling architects on the international scene, whose poetic vision connects in a delicate yet incisive way with the palace’s spaces and our exhibition project. Metamorphosis in Motion, acts as a conceptual threshold that transforms the perception of space into a participatory experience that charts the coordinates of a more conscious future.”

Mosca Partners Variations随后延展至这座如今作为文化部所在地的宫殿内部空间，在各个展厅中展开一条重新诠释展览主题的集体叙事。这一方式体现了MoscaPartners一贯的策展理念——这一愿景自2014年他们在此地的首次介入时便已确立。当时，正是在创始人Caterina Mosca与Valerio Castelli的前瞻推动下，这座宫殿首次向设计公众开放。展览通过多种形式展开探索，包括项目展示、特别系列、工业化产品、系列化设计、手工艺与材料实践等。在这些内容中，创造力被不断重塑，以回应当下的变化与挑战，并进一步探讨设计在引导一种更具自觉性、伦理性与再生导向的消费方式中的角色。

Mosca Partners Variations continues through the rooms of the palace —now headquarters of the Ministry of Culture — where a collective narrative takes shape, reinterpreting the exhibition’s concept. This approach reflects the design philosophy of Mosca Partners, a vision established since their first intervention in 2014 at this very venue. It was then that the palace was first unveiled to the design public, thanks to the foresight of founders Caterina Mosca and Valerio Castelli. 
The exhibition explores a range of through projects, special series, industrial productions, serial collections, craftsmanship, and materials in which creativity is constantly reinvented, adapting to the changes and challenges of the present, as part of an exploration of the role of design in paving the way towards a more conscious, ethical and regenerative approach to consumption.
